In October 2014, Sweden became the first country in the world to launch a feminist foreign policy. Minister for Foreign Affairs Margot Wallström is now launching a handbook on feminist foreign policy, so even more of us can contribute to a more gender equal world.
A feminist foreign policy means applying a systematic gender equality perspective throughout the whole foreign policy agenda. Following extensive international gender equality work over almost four years, there are a number of lessons that the Swedish Government wishes to share – methods, experiences and examples of how the policy is conducted. The hope is that the handbook will be a valuable resource for all contributors to international gender equality work.
Handbook on Sweden's feminist foreign policy
Sweden has diplomatic relations with almost all States in the world. It has embassies and consulates in around half of these. Sweden's foreign representation consists of approximately 100 missions abroad and 350 honorary consulates.
